Magic Unfurled

by M L Ryan

Published 20 December 2020

Two kinds of people inhabit my world: those with loads of magic and those with little or none. The Haves—usually warlords and their henchmen—use their arcane abilities to keep the Have Nots firmly squashed beneath their enchanted thumbs.

Unfortunately, I fall into the second category.

The only thing worse in this lawless and brutal world than being magically stunted?

Being a woman.

On my own since age eleven, I stayed alive by posing as a boy, stealing to keep my belly full, and never lingering in one place for long. Lonely? Sure, but it kept me safe for eight long years. Until I picked the wrong gang to filch a loaf of bread from.

If not for the magically skilled warriors who happened by, the blunder surely would have been fatal. The last place I wanted to be was in the hands of a warlord, but I wasn't given much of a choice. After rescuing me, they whisked me off to their encampment.

I fully intended to get the hell out at the first opportunity. And I would have, too, if everyone hadn’t been so damned nice. Or not dangled an offer to teach me how to use the powerful magic I didn’t know I had. Guess I'll just have to see if I'm as much of a magical badass as they think...

Magic Unfurled, Book One of the Interdimensional Magic Series, is a witty and action-packed tale set in the parallel dimension of Dekankara, first introduced in M.L. Ryan’s award-winning Coursodon Dimension series.
